Starts off well, the second act drags, and the third act tries to make up for lost time by wrapping up very anticlimactic…

In its strongest moments, the film plays like ill-conceived fan fiction, but for the most part is wafer-thin, nonsensical and laborious to watch…

William Castle at his best...worst...goriest! Gives you 60 seconds to leave the theatre right before the surprise ending…

Hoodwinked by a good title and a nice Criterion cover, I throw 90 more minutes down the British Domestic tubes…
